A Mormon in Vegas

Well, OK, that's a big of an exaggeration, but it was a fairly pious trip. No sex, no cards and only 3 drinks. Oh well.

Penn & Teller were very good. Most of the act was different compared to the last time we saw them, though Teller did the appearing goldfish trick which is awesome. The wife got us great seats and the NZS loved it. Unfortch, a good chunk of the banter was over the HB's head which he found frustrating and that distracted him from enjoying the magic. We had some good food at McFadden's at the Rio (where we saw the show) as well.

This morning we slept in, grabbed some breakfast and wandered through a few casinos/hotels. By lunchtime the boys had had enough and we drove home. Again, it was a nightmare and took about 6 hours. We picked up Nugz who was as happy to see us as we were to be home.

The NZS loved the trip, which was the primary purpose of going. I can't really see going there with the HB again until he's 21. There's just not that much to do with people who don't gamble, golf or shop (OK, I can go golfing with him there, but it's a bit of a haul).

I am SO looking forward to doing nothing but watch football tomorrow.
